The Northern F&D Collective

The North has the talent, the brands, and the ambition. Now, let’s build the network.

London’s Food & Drink scene thrives on one major advantage: connectivity. Brands there work together, share resources, and move as a community. We believe the North deserves an ecosystem that is just as connected and competitive.

The Northern F&D Collective is a new initiative designed to bring together the best founders, operators, and decision-makers in the Food & Drink space within Manchester and the wider North.

Why attend the launch?

• Real Connection: This isn't about swapping business cards; it's about building genuine relationships with peers who face the same challenges you do.
• Collaboration: Find opportunities to partner up, share knowledge, and amplify your brand's reach.
• Strategic Growth: Connect with key industry figures—we are inviting representatives from the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to discuss support for regional businesses.

Who is this for? Whether you are a challenger brand, a scaling manufacturer, or an innovative startup in the F&D sector, this space is for you.
